How do I make caramelised onions?!
Answers:
For those of you who suggested adding sugar to the onions, you really don't understand the purpose or the origin of caramelizing onions!. The process is named after a 19th century european chef who discovered that by slowly sauteeing onions, the vegetable starches are converted to sugars, adding sweetness to the dish!. It only coincidentaly shares the same name as the process of browning sugar!.
All that is required is butter and onions!. They should be slowly sauteed until very brown, being careful not to burn them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Shred onion (that's cutting from top to bottom) as thinly as possible and fry in a mixture of olive oil and butter with the heat as low as possible, stir from time to time until onions gets brown!.
The caramelisation happens when the onion juice gets released and, as the onion is cooked, the sugars in it will give it that caramel flavour!.
And no, no sugar involved!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Melt butter in heavy bottom skillet or fry pan!. Add sliced onions!. Slice the onions fairly thin but not real thin or they will just seem to disappear!.
Start to saute them keep turning them so they don't get too brown, after a while the onions will release a lot of water, this will have to be cooked off!. Continue cooking until onions are brown, may take 25-30 minutes!.
Do not add anything other than the butter and onions--no sugar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I agree!. I've never heard of adding sugar!. You can use butter or oil!. The key is to cook them on low heat slowly (trust me-I've tried to rush them)!. I like to use a pot with a cover!. The only thing that I wanted to add, that I haven't seen mentioned, is start with a lot of onion, much more than you think you need- it cooks way down!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
